Can anyone recommend a chromebook with a non-clunky touchpad?

I've a newish HP chromebook and the touchpad is f%%king horrific and tiring.

My last Dell laptop had a rolls royce touch pad by comparison.
 
i've a fairly old (5 years?) Toshiba chromebook and the touchpad is.... grand? I don't really use it frequently enough or for long enough at a time to, so maybe it's actually awful?
 
The Asus one is pretty good.
Also you can get a fancier touchscreen one that does a flippy thing. It looks cool but costs around €550.
 
What are these things? My understanding is that it's a Chrome browser in a box? Am I wrong? my mother in law wants one because someone she knows has one, asked me for advice.

Pretty much, yeah, if you think of Chrome as an operating system not a browser.

The real benefit is they’re so simple to use, but you can still do plenty with them.
 
GF is looking for a new laptop for, I guess, "word processing". A chromebook can run Microsoft Office and can do basic internetting, right?

Bought this a few weeks back. I don't need a laptop with lightning fast processors etc, I just needed something to do the online bits and bobs that wasn't a phone or tablet. It can do all sorts of acrobatics with its hinges so it has a tablet 'mode'. The touchpad isn't clunky, but if you need to use a chromebook for anything other than basic Internet stuff and maybe letters, this is definitely not a good buy!
 
Chromebook is super quick to charge and battery life is deadly but HP touchpaaaadddd....
